Bring Amazon Fresh to your door

I still have Homegrocer.com magnets on my fridge, so of course I’ve been wanting to try out Amazon Fresh, the grocery delivery service from the company I persist in thinking of as an online bookstore. I’ve heard good things about the service, with just one problem: No bananas, Italian parsley, Macrina baguettes, cheese or anything else is showing up at my door, because Amazon’s delivery area doesn’t include my neighborhood.

The delivery zone is about to expand, though, and My Ballard notes that the company is holding an online vote on which neighborhood to add next. Here’s what the Amazon site says (and note that you’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to use the new service):

“Between now and January 15th, cast your vote for which zip code we should deliver to next. Based on customer feedback, we’re opening voting between 98199, 98117, 98107, and 98115. Results aren’t real time, but we will post them almost daily. Only valid residential addresses will be tallied. The zip code that gets the majority of votes will be where our trucks will appear next. We expect to open the winning zipcode the week following the vote. All our new delivery areas will require an AmazonPrime membership to use the service.”
